Produced by Skee-Lo & Walter Kahn. Hey, this is radio station WSKEE We're taking calls on the wish line Making your wacky wishes come true Hello? I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat And a six four Impala. I wish I had a brand new car so far, I got this hatchback And everywhere I go, yo, I gets laughed at And when I'm in my car I'm laid back I got an 8-track, and a spare tire in the backseat, but that's flat And do you really wanna know what's really wack? See, I can't even get a date, so what do you think of that?

Anyways - Skee-Lo is one of the best rappers/lyricists of the old days - he has a LOT of charisma and charm about him, his beats are fantastic, and the lyrics are very clever and funny. Practically every song on the album is great, especially the first 3 songs. Honestly, rap as good as this makes me wish people nowadays would delve more into pop rap (I also just bought "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince which is also a GREAT pop rap album and a must-own)
